King Kong: Review

The ultimate monster movie and one of the grandest and most beloved adventure films ever made. Hollywood filmmaker Robert Armstrong and starlet Fay Wray journey to a mysterious island in search of the legendary King Kong, a giant ape worshipped as a god by the local natives. They find him and he immediately falls in love with Wray, leading to the big lovesick ape's famous — and technically astonishing — rampage through New York City once he's brought back to the States.

When the visual-effects team for King Kong took to the stage to accept their Oscar earlier this month, they made a point to thank Andy Serkis. It's not very often that actors are cited by visual-effects winners, but then again Serkis is no ordinary actor. For the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he created the voice and movements of the Gollum-Smeagol character. For King Kong, he took on the role of no less than the great ape. TVGuide.com caught up with the Brit for the occasion of Kong's March 28 DVD release to get an idea of exactly what's involved when bringing mythic creatures to life.

Jon Stewart did his best, but it wasn't good enough. There are limitations in being a clever, self-deprecating master of irony, when what the job of Oscar host truly demands is being a showman. Which Stewart would probably be the first to admit he's not.

His humor, politically barbed but never obnoxious, was possibly a bit too sophisticated for that cavernous room. But what really defeated him, as it has almost every modern-day Oscar host except for Billy Crystal, is the deadly monotony of the Oscar show itself. What a fossiled relic.
